If your code is well designed, the LLM will actually work better.

If your code is a spaghetti mess, the LLM will not work as well because they're logic engines.

There's more chances for them to get confused.

A lot of the fundamentals of building software, yes, the industry has changed, but a lot of the fundamentals of building software are different.

The other thing we found is that the time you spend writing code has gone down.

Now there are other bottlenecks in your pipeline that you have to do.

Now maybe your CI takes too long.

Now maybe your other things take too long.

It changes maybe what kinds of things you need to optimize.

But at the end of the day,

I think for most senior software engineers, the amount of time that they actually spent writing code was frankly not either the hardest part of their job or what they spent most of their time on, right?

Software is probably the most

the most affected industry and the most tractable industry for LLMs that I've seen at least so far.

Obviously there are other uses for it, but it's software, it's rule-based, you can test for correctness, you can mitigate a lot of the things that LLMs might kind of go off the rails and hallucination.

At the end of the day, you need working code, right?

So you can test this kind of stuff.

So you can mitigate a lot of the problems with LLMs.

Software is your best case scenario.

And even then,

from what I've seen, it's an evolution.
